Nº 5 Concealer Brush

Hourglass Nº 5 Concealer Brush is the slim one. Hourglass tapers the head and keeps it narrow so concealer can be placed on a specific mark — a spot, a dark inner corner, the crease of the nostril — rather than smudged over everything around it.

Type	Slim tapered concealer brush
Best at	Detailed, pinpoint concealer placement
Bristles	Taklon, PETA-approved, described as high grade and ultra-soft
Handle	Weighted metal
Animal-free	Vegan and cruelty-free

What it actually does

• Places concealer in detail. Hourglass credits the slim, tapered design with the control needed for detailed application — this is a precision tool, not a coverage tool.
• Reaches where fingers cannot. The narrow head gets into the inner corner, the sides of the nose and the edge of the lip line without disturbing the makeup next to it.
• Keeps the spot the right size. Pinpoint placement means one blemish gets concealed, not a visible patch around it.
• Soft enough for the under-eye. The brand grades the Taklon fibre as ultra-soft and high quality, which matters on the thinnest skin on the face.
• No animal hair. Hourglass positions Taklon as PETA-approved, more hygienic than animal hair and usable by people with animal-hair allergies.
• Formula-flexible. The brand says it takes liquid, cream or powder, so colour corrector and cream concealer both apply with it.
• Weighted handle for steadiness. Metal weight is linked by Hourglass to easier, more controlled application.

How to use

1. Pick up a very small amount — precision work needs less product than you think.
2. Tap, do not stroke, the concealer directly onto the mark you want covered.
3. Use the fine tip to walk the edges outward until the boundary disappears.
4. Let it sit for a few seconds, then add a second tap only if the mark still shows.
5. Set the spot with a small amount of powder so it does not shift.
6. To clean: a mild soap with lukewarm water, worked gently, then dried lying flat.

Questions

Can I do my whole under-eye with it?

You can, but it will take a while. Hourglass designs this one slim for detail; a larger concealer brush covers the full under-eye in far fewer passes.

Does it work for lip colour too?

The brand says the bristles take liquid, cream and powder, and a slim tapered tip is a sensible shape for cleaning up or sharpening a lip edge with concealer.

Is it vegan?

Yes — vegan, cruelty-free, and built with PETA-approved Taklon fibre rather than animal hair.
